Talking Neon, Again (Book Talk Announcement)

I'll be talking neon this Wednesday night (December 5, 2012) at Bowne & Co. Stationers, down at the South Street Seaport. The talk is being sponsored by the Historic Districts Council and will benefit the recently re-born South Street Seaport Museum, which suffered extensive damage as a result of Hurricane Sandy (tickets are $10, $5 reduced fare for Historic Districts Council members). Please join if you can and help support the Seaport Museum's recovery efforts!

ABOUT

New York Neon is a new book released by W.W. Norton that presents a documentary homage to old neon signs in New York. The primary motivation for this project is to record the significance of these signs as works of design that characterized New York's 20th century streetscapes. This blog will feature occasional news items related to New York's dwindling number of old neon signs, as well as sundry "cutting room floor" items that didn't make it into the book.
